Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Flour - All-purpose flour, never self-rising flour.

- Milk - Whole milk or 2% milk works best.
- Butter - I used salted butter, but you can use unsalted butter as well.
Couple Things You'll Need
Step by Step Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 9x13 baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Start by melting the butter in the microwave.
- Add the ½ cup honey to the melted butter and whisk well.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients (flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt) together.
- Add the wet ingredients (honey mixture, milk, and large eggs) to the flour mixture.
- Mix with a wooden spoon just until no white streaks remain and the batter has come together.
- NOTE - This batter/dough does appear a little odd. It's thick with texture, unlike a cake batter. So don't panic; it's how it's supposed to be.
- Spread evenly into a thin layer in the prepared pan. This is a stiffer batter, so it takes a little bit of effort to spread it out evenly.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean, and the top of the cake should be golden brown.
- Cool the cake slightly on a wire rack.
- Serve warm with butter and honey. Goes well with fresh fruit and a tall glass of orange juice or Orange Julius!
- Store by covering cooled honey cake with a lid or plastic wrap. No need to refrigerate; room temperature is fine.

Love this however I made some changes. My daughter has a shop with different flavors of honey. Mine was honey and vanilla. I accidently put too much salt and I didn’t have the right pan so used mini Bundt cake. Came out delish Now just need to drip some honey butter
